Michal Seneca

Founder of MapPal · Prague, Czechia

Michal built MapPal after his own frustrations with dating-app-style friendship modes on the road. He's been solo-traveling for a decade, spent long stretches in Portugal and Southeast Asia, and settled in Prague as his home base. He writes about travel-companion matching, solo-traveler safety, and the design ethics of consumer social apps. MapPal is his response to what those apps got wrong.
